Close to him, you will be killed, get on the rylai or ghost, keep your distance and you can kite him.
Learn to dodge
Ahri
You can beat her easy. Avoid her W.
She's quite a pickle to deal with. Her Q get rids of your minion real quick and she gets healing from her passive to deal with your poke. She's the most played champ among the hard matchups so I kinda ban her most of the time when I want Malzahar.
Akali
Let her use W first, your W will kill her easily.
Akali is one of those champ that can outplay you easily but since your Malzahar you still win the game. You impact in the game is a lot more important than her's. She's good at roaming and you're good at punishing roamers by getting the first tower. Her W will piss you of, but don't be affraid you only have to play safe until it's wasted and she dies. However, her mobility is against you. If you get hit by her E, you'll die quick. If you dodge it, she looses half her damage.
Alistar
Mid ? :)) If you ganked, avoid him combo by flash or ghost, otherwise you can be kill, if you have liandry and rylai, you can kill him easy
Amumu
Mid ? :)) if you have liandry and rylai, you can kill him easy
Anivia
You can easy solo kill her, R you can shut down her R
Annie
She can shut down you with one combo.
She got one of the longest range among mage with her basic attack, so it won't be a problem for her to get rid of your passive without using any single drops of mana. I bear-ly recommend to pick Malzahar against her. hehe
Aurelion Sol
Keep distance with him, you can beat him if you have W
Azir
So uneasy with him W, He can fled easy.
Bird like to push. Bird don't like being pushed. Bird puts soldier and needs to attack you to attack with soldier. Bird can't attack under your R.
Blitzcrank
Avoi him
Brand
Save Q of you, you can beat him.
He isn't that much hard to deal with. First, if you know how to dodge, you're in buisness. Second, your voidling can block his stun. Time their spawn well and they'll serve you as a meat shield. You also outrange his E with all of your abilities, except for your W.
Camille
Avoid wall or close turret, she can beat you if you run out of mana
Cassiopeia
E of her, you can't flash, She can Q and E you to hell. Avoid solo her, you must save Q, R, and exhause.
She can easily get rid of your passive and once it's done, she just deals more damage than you. So you'll never be able to win a lane against her. At least she doesn't one shot your 3 voidling at once, and if she forgets you in a teamfights, your passive can nullify her ult.
Cho'Gath
If you don't have rylai, he can beat you.
Corki
He can clear CS than you in early, but he can fled easy
Darius
Don't pick malzahar to solo with him. Or you farm under turret.
Diana
You must farm close or under turret to avoid ganked.
Dr. Mundo
in early game, One combo, he alive, so you should avoid him.
Draven
if you combo first, you alive, you combo second, you die.
Ekko
You must farm close or under turret to avoid ganked.
Elise
Ward is help you.
Evelynn
Exhause her because her can R to out of range turret
Ezreal
Easy
Fiddlesticks
He very tanky
Fiora
W her can beat your R, save skill, don't solo her.
Fizz
Harass him as much as posible because he can beat you early.
He depends on his ults to ingage. If he does that, your passive get rid of it. If he wants to remove your passives, then he'll have to get close. The closer he is from you, the less damage he'll get from his ult, and the closer you are from him, the faster you kill him.
Galio
easy
Gangplank
W her can out of your R
Garen
Easy
Gnar
Uneasy when he giant
Gragas
Graves
He can beat you early
Hecarim
Uneasy
Heimerdinger
Easy, E W of you can clear all him turret.
Your E has the reach to go from one turrets to the other if he places his turret like all Heim player does. But don't put it on his turret, your voidling will die quickly and you'll be defense less. Also you need to be close to him to do anything, and getting close to a Heimerdinger with Malzahar is harder than soloing the baron with soraka.
Illaoi
Avoid her E W
Irelia
Early, she can beat you early
Ivern
Easy
Janna
easy
Jarvan IV
He can beat you in one combo.
Jarvan is particularly nasty, able to throw out all of their lockdown before the Silence or Suppression can usually stop them. They also have very early gank pressure combined with enough burst to annihilate any Malz without some armor items.

Kassadin
Don't. Play. Againts. An Anti-mage. With a mage.
Katarina
Your Q silences, her ult stops. Your ult suppresses, her ult stop. As long as she's not fed, her ult is her only hope to get a kill, and can stop it without thinking about it.
Kayle
Kayn
Kennen
Kha'Zix
Kindred
Kled
Kog'Maw
LeBlanc
She can't deal with you, BUT her passive litteraly stop your ult and it's really annoying so wait for her passive to proc before ulting, and check which on still have your E on it. That's the good one.
Lee Sin
Leona
Lissandra
Lucian
Lulu
Lux
Ok, yes you outKILL her, but she outrange you. She knows she only have to stay away and she knows she only have to poke you until you die. You'll easily get more farm than her, but she's as much of a threat as you are in teamfight. The big difference is that she litterally don't need to be in the middle of the fight to make a difference. She's annoying.

She's not easy to deal with at all. But she's not good either. She'll piss you off by one shotting your voidlings and she'll get you away if you try to get close. But you actually have a good champion. That's your adventage against her. Ok enought bad talk, she's not bad she's just not the same she was before she got nerfed to death.
Tahm Kench
Taliyah
You probably won't win against her. She's the bane of all late game champion and she don't know the word mercy yet. Her Q squish your voidling under a pile of rock and kill them. And it costs nothing to cast.
Talon
Ok he may seems easy to deal with, and h but don't be fooled. Once he got his 6, he can kill you so fast that you'll barely have time to respond. Your passive isn't a problem for his W and he won't show mercy to immobile champion as Malzahar

He's a bad guys and he's always casting his W where you put your voidling. Once he did that too much time he doesn't have enought mana to kill you. Take that chance to kill him before he return to base.
Vel'Koz
Artillery champions are difficult for Malzahar to reach, as their sheer range keeps them away from silences or suppressions. They also can siege down Malzahar's team from getting objectives, negating Malzahar's win condition.

Xerath
High range, decently low CD's for poke, deadly burst...... poke champs are always annoying since they can keep your passive down so easy. And since xerath has the potential to whittle you down and kill you without ever needing to come into your range, a good xerath player is a serious threat.
